Due to a wide range of personal issues with members of the Yesod Publications team, and the loss of one of our members due to illness (Proud Proletarian is gone but not forgotten), the Nexus Arcana website will slowly be rebuilt and refined for the next three novels which Kodai Okuda is currently working on.
Recently it has come to our attention that there has been theft of copyrighted and trademarked material from this website (mostly from the Role Playing Game sections) and so the Nexus

I have noticed a bit of complaining on the internet about indie authors and the sheer volume of them that offer unedited or poorly edited works for sale.

The following is a compilation of the best science fiction books offered by Independent publishers and authors. This list is not a "top (insert number here)" type list and is based not only on basic grammatical editing criteria but also story content. It will grow as I read and review new books of the SF genre. New listings will be added to this post as I complete them. Individual reviews for SF books (even those that do not make this list) will be posted in the
